Abstract: Techniques for congestion control are disclosed. In one embodiment, a base station allocates (350) a shared resource using a combination of zero or more individual grants and zero or more common grants, and generates a busy signal (370) in response to loading conditions that exceed a pre-determined level. In another embodiment, a subset of transmitting mobile stations reduce their transmission rate in response to a busy signal. The subset may include autonomous transmission, commonly granted transmission, individually granted transmission, or any combination thereof. In various embodiments, rate adjustment may be probabilistic or deterministic. In one embodiment, a rate table (1000) is deployed, and a mobile station decreases or increases the transmission rate from one rate in the table to a lower or higher rate in the table, respectively, in response to the busy signal. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of providing efficient congestion control, avoiding excessive interference and increasing capacity.

Granted: 2011-02-22
Abstract: The present invention comprises an improved extruder die assembly and method for using same to impart a distinct colored and/or flavored pattern into an extrudable food mass during the extrusion process. The extruder die assembly includes a forming section (1200) and an injection section (1300) for imparting the distinct colored and/or flavored pattern into an extrudable food mass. The resulting food mass is compressed through a converging nozzle bore in the nozzle section (1400) to produce an extruded food product. The converging nozzle section may also include axially aligned ridgelines (1420a, 1420b) which gradually project into the bore of the nozzle as the nozzle converges to gradually disrupt the axial flow of an extrudate at specific peripheral points thereby altering the extrudate's velocity profile, which improves the quality of dimensional design aspects of the resulting extruded, complexly shaped, direct expanded food products.

Abstract: Methods for placing apertures in a film material wrapping of soap bars so that the soap bar fragrance can be readily detected outside of the packaged soap bar. The apertures can be shaped apertures or slit apertures. The apertures can be placed in the film material at the time of the decoration of the film material or at the time of feeding the film material to be placed around the soap bar. The apertures can be any surface of the wrapped soap bar, but should be of an overall surface area to emit not more than 60% of the fragrance or 50% of the moisture content of the soap bar over a period of 6 months. In addition the surface of the film material adjacent the soap bar may contain a coating of the fragrance of the soap bar, or in the alternative the surface of an inner insert material such as a stiffener can contain a coating of the fragrance of the soap bar. Further the apertures can be coordinated with the decoration and when the decoration is a botanical the fragrance of the soap bar and that of the botanical can be coordinated.

Title: Method for bioleaching metal containing sulphidic materials
Inventor: SUNDKVIST JAN-ERIC
IPC: C22B3/18
Filed: 2006-09-11
Granted: 2011-01-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for a continuous bioleaching of a metal containing sulphidic materials. Such a material in the form of a pulp or slurry is fed to a main circuit, where a bioleaching is performed in one or more stages with a culture of microorganisms which is suitable as regards the ingoing materials. A material having the ability to promote growth of microorganisms suitable for the bioleaching in the main circuit is fed to a side circuit for the generation of such microorganism. The content from the side circuit is fed to the main circuit in a predetermined flow so that an activity high enough is obtained in the culture in this circuit also at staying times shorter than the critical as should prevail without such an addition. The leaching in the main circuit is, thus, allowed to be controlled of the oxidation degree and temperature, so that a selective oxidation of different ingoing materials is allowed as well as the achievement of a predetermined oxidation ratio of the outgoing material from the main circuit. A separated leaching residue from this material is withdrawn having an oxidation ratio suitable for a following metal winning process.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an aerial delivery system that provides for the controlled delivery of items from an aircraft into a selected drop zone. In accordance with the present invention, the aerial delivery system includes a base and a sidewall arrangement adjacent the base. The sidewall arrangement generally acts as a sleeve defining an inner volume. Within the inner volume is a tray or cassette configured to be moveable within the inner volume. Adjacent the sidewall arrangement opposite the base is a top cover. The top cover is generally oversized relative to the shape defined by the sidewall arrangement. A plurality of straps connects the top cover, sidewall arrangement and, optionally, the material within the inner volume. The aerial delivery system is activated by an air stream that catches the oversized top cover, forcing the separation between the top cover and the other portions of the aerial delivery system.  The separation of top cover places a load upon the straps that initiate the release of materials contained within the aerial delivery system.

Abstract: Il s'agit d'un contenant qui comprend une base (12) pouvant supporter des aliments et un couvercle (14) se refermant sur la base, qui indique clairement si le couvercle a été ouvert après qu'un commis a mis des aliments dans la base et a refermé le couvercle. La base et le couvercle comportent chacun des parties de piégeage (22, 23) et des parties ouvertes par tirage (24, 32) avec une languette déchirable ou une couche étanche à ouverture par déchirement (80). Pour fermer le couvercle, un commis projette une languette (30) sur la partie ouverte par tirage du couvercle à travers une fente (26) dans la partie ouverte par tirage de la base, puis appuie sur toute la partie de piégeage du couvercle dans la partie de piégeage de la base. Le couvercle ne peut pas être soulevé du fait que la couche étanche à ouverture par déchirement (80) formant la paroi  supérieure de la fente repose sur la languette. Pour ouvrir le contenant, une personne doit déchirer la couche étanche de façon qu'elle puisse tirer sur la languette (30) et ouvrir le couvercle. Le fait que la couche étanche a été déchirée est évident.
